I had no problem installing PM5 from floppies and running it on my G3 (beige 333MHZ Minitower).

The problem is that the Installer program expects to run from a floppy drive. The Installer begins (in Classic), but then it pops a dialog box asking for the next floppy, with a drawing of two floppies, and arrows between them.

This is exactly how this Installer worked on my older Macs, but since my iBook doesn't HAVE a floppy drive, I'm trying to fool it by installing from a CD.

BTW, I also tried to access the floppy drive on my G3 from my iBook over the network, but it seems it can't be done.

Since PM5 was published by Aldus, before Adobe bought it, I figure that accounts for the different Installer program.

Also, I've had NO problem with any other old app installing or working on my iBook. (Of course there are old apps that I just never use and haven't tried to install....)
